Nor will it be in your and my lifetime. We have fallen into an abyss of status quo generated over the years.

And that, my friend, is the quite possibly the saddest summation of this whole flippin' bureaucratic mess we call the US Government...

Katrina is a whole different thread and perhaps looking at the Governer and Mayor who refused federal help needs to be read up on. Devastation there was MASSIVE! Know one knew were to start. I'm not on FEMA side as this wing is still screwed up. Nothing was learned at all.

Actually, that was my point in mentioning Katrina... Here we are *again* with what will be another MASSIVE amount of damage in SoCal, and I doubt that we will have learned anything from the Katrina experience to alleviate the suffering and to "make things right" again.
And that's what really gets me. Here we are, this "Super Power" in the world, highest standard or living, freedoms and all that, and we still do all this stupid cr*p... We're supposed to LEAD the Freeworld, not rape and pillage it..
